> [@MovieMogul](#): > > Another in correct order > > The Hunger Games > The Hunger Games: Catching Fire > The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (One) > The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (Two) Of course, this doesn’t apply to the book series, where the titles are just The Hunger Games Catching Fire Mockingjay (and there are only three of them, so it’s disqualified for that). The first four books in the [Green Knowe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Knowe) series happen to be in alphabetical order, but the fifth ruins that. ---

There’s a strange one that applies for Iron Maiden for their 80s studio albums, that I discovered on my ipod, which discards the words ‘A’ and ‘The’ at the beginning of titles when ordering them: - Iron Maiden - Killers - (The) Number of the Beast - Piece of Mind - Powerslave - Somewhere In Time and it only just misses with the next one: - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son The haphazard nature of it makes me think it was coincidental. ---
